Author’s Take:
Matteo Guezdouzi performance against Aston Villa summed up Arsenal’s performance. He is improving as a complete midfielder and has become a trendsetter of Arsenal. But Arsenal still has defensive issues that they need to work on. They need to play with the same spirit when they travel to face Manchester United next Monday.
